Summary/Abstract: This essay is an attempt at an explication de texte: a reading session on Part I of Derrida's "Force of Law: 'The Mystical Foundation of Authority"'. An explication - that is, an unfolding by means of an interruptive reading that breaks into the text at certain places; a supplementary reading that interprets and mediates by means of insertions and prostheses so as to provide a secure footing (precisely by means of footnotes) for a somewhat better understanding, knowing already, however, that there can never be a steady ground or foundation and even less a secure one - that is, an irresponsible one.
